We have analyzed T cell receptor repertoires in a unique set of thymus samples from a pair of monozygotic twins. While genetics affect the V(D)J rearrangement and generation of junctional sequences, the thymic selections seem largely stochastic and import no detectable inheritable effect at clonal level.
